The Sixth Form at Claremont is a place of ambition, discovery and transformation - a natural progression built upon the strong foundations laid throughout our school from the earliest years.
As a non-selective, co-educational community for students aged 3–18, we believe deeply in the potential of every individual, and our Sixth Form represents the moment when that potential truly begins to take shape as students prepare for life beyond school.
Students choose their pathways in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics alongside Specialist Programmes in languages, computing, sports and creative arts.
Students develop cognitive, digital fluency, communication and global skills through sports, performing arts, clubs, ISP's ILOS Programme and cultural exchanges.
Learners improve fluency with specialist-led sessions, choose French, Spanish, German and Mandarin as electives and can take A Levels and BTECs in their native language.
Students receive individualised guidance, including Oxbridge preparation, UCAS mentoring, tailored career advice, interview preparation, workshops and seminars.
Learners grow in purpose-built facilities including science labs, creative studios, sports fields, a dedicated Sixth Form Centre and performance spaces.
Students blaze a trail of success through our award-winning Arts programme and specialist sports pathways including our Football Academy and equestrian training.
Students lead through House Captain, Student Council, sports clubs, prefect opportunities and international learning opportunities.
Sixth formers obtain excellent academic results with 47% achieving A or A* in A Levels or BTECs and 92% accessing their first-choice destinations.
Boarders grow academically, personally and socially at our boarding houses through high standards of care and a multicultural, welcoming community.
Our admissions process is simple, personalised and has multilingual support for international families.
I am delighted to welcome you to Claremont Sixth Form: a dynamic, forward looking environment where ambition is matched with outstanding support.

Izzy 2024, Alumni
The Claremont Sixth Form pushed both my academic potential and my love for performing arts, allowing me to thrive in both areas. Support was always at my fingertips, whether for academics, personal growth or university applications. Thanks to the incredible guidance from the staff, the transition to university felt seamless, and I left feeling confident, prepared and excited for the future.
More than A Levels
As well as A Levels, students have the opportunity to study Level 3 BTEC qualifications in some subjects, as well as Sports Leaders’ Award, Arts Awards, Duke of Edinburgh and LAMDA qualifications.
Extended Project Qualification
In addition to Sixth Form subjects, students can carry out research on a preferred topic, not covered by their other qualifications with the EPQ. They then produce a written report, an artefact, a production or event.
